Well today makes it 3 weeks since I had RNY revision from the sleeve and I am down 30.8 pounds for a total 103.2 all together. I am still in a learning stage with foods I aint really liking anything I put in my mouth which at anything really anyway but I learning and taking it one day at a time. I have to learn my body like and dislikes.

Today has been 1 week since my revision from the sleeve to the RNY and I am getting better everyday. Recovery has been harder but not all in a bad way. I need to really learn to take care of myself better so it is allowing me to really slow down and look after me. Everyday I do get better and better so that is a great thing. I don't regret any of my decesions so far and I am looking forward to my journey. So I have lost some weight but I had gained so I am right where I once was which again is a great thing. well I am off this thing so will update on another day. 

 I had weight loss surgery on May 3rd of last year and I have lost a total of 85 pounds which is a great thing but not nearly enough and I have came to a complete stop in weightloss since November. So at my one year post op the doctor and myself came to the decision that doing the 2nd part or revision to the RNY was the next step. So on Tuesday June 26th I will be having surgery to go from the sleeve to the RNY. I am so excited and sad at the same time. Honestly at first I felt like a failure and there was no stopping how my mind was set in that mood but today I am ready to continue my journey that is just another step in my ultimate goal and that is to be able to make sure my daughter has the best upbringing I can give her. And in doing so I need to be healthy and happy to make sure she is healthy and happy.  I will try harder to come on and update because I do understand the importance of keeping this up for those who come along and need to see my journey in order to help thier journey work for them. I am also on facebook everyday try looking for me or leave me a comment with your info to add you.

I do not regret my decision to get the sleeve as it has helped me start my journey and this past year has been for the most part great due to my surgery. Well I am thinking that is it for now write later, lol.

I havent been on this forum in a long while and I am back and ready to get going and losing this weight I need to lose.  Not only has this surgery been a big adventure but my whole life has been full of hurdles and knockouts, but luckily for me I fall out, cry and stay to myself but I do get back up and finish what I start.  I am so grateful to god who has held me when I no longer was able to hold myself up, looked after me and  protect me when I am not able.  GOD is almighty all knowing and never judges me, I love him cause he loved me first and because his loved he never uses it against me, he has always been there for me and I have needed that so much. I have been forgotten, not cared for or after and been shown I have noone but Jesus to look for in my time of need.  I am now ready and fully acknowledge my part in what has to happen now, no looking back only forward.  If I can say anything to those who read this is to never give up, it's ok to cry but don't stay in that mind frame for long, you may not see the light at the end of the tunnel but GOD will never give you more than you can handle!!!!

I am on here everyday, but I don't write everyday, but today is such a great day I said I had too.   I weighed myself today and I am officially at the same weight I was back in 2005 when I was originally going to have the RNY and then lost my insurance.  I am so happy.  For me at this weight I was working and doing good so this is a great time for me.  I am really excited about my future and can't wait for more to fall off lol.

I am again a loser, since my last post i have 10 pounds, I am so happy and excited.  Like I said in my last post I am so happy and ready to do this, yay!!!!

I am so happy to report I am now officially under 400 pounds for the last time in my life YAY!!! I had been holding at 402 pounds for the last month and I checked yesterday and wanted to wait until I was able to check again this morning and its said 398.  I finally broke my stall and I am under 400 pounds, today is going to be a great day!!!!

Well I haven't had nothing to really write or report on.  I was 402 pounds on June 3 and today I am still 402 pounds.  I have been going up and down for 2 whole weeks and I have so much going on right now, and this is not helping me at all.  I am in the process of moving and getting ready for a trip to Alabama.  I thought I had found a place and it fell through due to the housing authority people dropping the ball and calling me 1 day before I was suppose to move to say I can't move there because they don't do housing in the area I was moving it is through another housing authority so all the work I had put in to moving there for the last month was all for nothing.  So I have spent the last week looking for another house.  Well I will update more when I get some news.  Also Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there.

God is so good, today I celbrate being 1 month out and like I said yesterday I feel great.  I have had no complications, I have so much energy I sometimes wonder and my life is getting better and better thanks to GOD and his mercy he has for me.  Today also is extra special because I also celbrate the fact that today is the finalization of my daughters Adoption which means she is truly mines forever and I love her and GOD for making this all happen.  I will pray that everyones day is as great as ours will be today..  TTUL

Well I went to my 1 month check-up today even though I will be 1 month out tomorrow, but I am cool with it.lol!!!  Anyway I am down a total of 28.5 pounds since surgery and down 58.5 pounds since I started my journey in Febraury 2011.  I am excited happy and so thankful for GOD for keeping me going on the right track.  That is all for now I will post tomorrow because tomorrow is not only my rael 1 month anniversary but my Daughters adoption is finalized also.
